I have been in a music slump for like 2 years now. Nothing I would write would ever be good enough to keep or even playback. I had no ideas, no feels, nothing… I had serious writer’s block! But last week I wrote and tracked the best song I have ever done! It is a really ruff cut but I hear more potential in the riffs and feels than i have heard in any indie band I have ever scouted as an A&R guy. The song is industrial with some metal and ambient origins. I just need to arrange and further produce it out now. The best part is that I have busted my slump! I have so many other ideas coming to me everyday now! I finally see the end of the tunnel for my first solo album! It’s pretty far away, but I see a faint glow!

Sitting here and working on my computer, I am hit with an idea for a project or plugin for my word press blog… I use growltunes to growl the song info from itunes as the tracks change. I am thinking, why can’t I growl the track info to my blog/website? Is there already an app that does this? If not, I think I am going to make that a weekend project. Doesn’t seem too hard with a pub/sub setup. Just a random thought for my blog.

I am now a Yahoo! That’s right, for some of you that actually read this and don’t know, I got laid off at the end of April and in the same day got an interview for Yahoo. I mulled over my offer and interviewed at quite a few other places until I decided to take the Yahoo job. The catch is that it is in Sunnyvale 
and I can commute at 2 hours each way or move. So, I am obviously moving :)
So, now that I have a job and a cube, I need things for my cube to make it nerdy-awesome. I have been putting things on my “gift list” (link above ^ ) so that:
A) I don’t forget and have a reference to all the things that I have found, thought was cool, and wanted.
and
B) So that if any of my beloved readers/fans wants to get me something… there is a list 
So check it out, you may find something that you want too

So I have been playing with Justin.tv ever since I interviewed for the position and I must admit that I am addicted. It sucks that they decided not to hire anyone for the position
But hey, they got another user out of it!
Justin.tv is a live webcasting website that is totally free! Like YouTube for live footage. It is the most awesome up and coming application out right now.
You can check me out two ways… First you can click on the “Live Feed” link above or if you want to chat while I am live you can go directly to my live feed on Justin.tv by clicking here.
